Before you decide

Demand is only one input

Learning effort

Months

Expect a few months of regular practice, ideally on a real project, before you can use it at work.

Transferability

Broad

Useful across many roles and industries, so it keeps its value if your plans change.

Rising ads don’t mean you should learn this.

Your interests, the time you have and what people in the work tell you matter more. Effort and transferability are editorial estimates, not measurements.

Next step

Numbers only go so far. Ask someone who uses UX research.
